Israel pays them to not report, this is very much common knowledge.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So then why is it so hard for you to believe that US capitalist interests also pay them?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -2 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

They almost certainly do, Russia getting involved by sending drones helps the current regime. They want scale war and Russia doesn't give a fuck about Iran outside of munitions production. Let them keep producing munitions and halt exports to Ukraine and that's a net benefit to Russia, not a loss.

Russia doesn’t give a fuck about Iran outside of munitions production.

This isn't the most relevant part of this exchange, but I always find it interesting when people, presumably westerners, say things like this. It's not like you're in any position to know what countries the Russian government does or does not care about, so i can only assume you're just kind of...saying shit? Which hey, as a westerners myself I understand, we love to just say shit and make guesses and present them as obvious facts, but that's all this is. And I think it comes from this unexamined thing we grow up with, this idea that the way our governments act is normal and common sense, and anyone in the same position would act the same way. But the more I learn, the more i think that's not true, and I think it leads to people making unfounded projections about other people's values and intentions.

Assume I'm Western then immediately admit you're "westerners"

Actions are the most visible and generally the most truthful, Russia does not care about Iran.

Who the fuck thinks the way any government acts is normal, are you fuckin drunk or something?

Actions are the most visible and generally the most truthful

Actions such as sending them advanced integrated radar systems before the US attack and sending them upgraded drones that have been improved with the lessons learned in Ukraine. If you think these are the actions of a government that doesn't care, i think you might be drunk. I also think you would benefit from doing something else for a bit. I engaged politely, and you immediately turned and snarled. You're clearly wound tight right now, and are arguing using claims that don't make sense for the sake of a "win".

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

As payment sure also there's not much proof to show it actually worked or was complete given the Russian aa radar gap.

Yea, your opinion on what I should put shouldn't do means literally nothing to me bud.

Oh I snarled did I?

How so exactly?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

US capitalists want regime change so they can steal Iran's oil and resources, which would necessarily end munitions sales from Iran to Russia. They certainly don't want a war that drags on until the global economy collapses.

I think you've got the material interests of US capitalists confused.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world -1 points 22 hours ago

No duh? Everyone knows they're there for oil. It does not necessarily mean no munitions production, the US only wants the oil they don't care about the people either and they're certainly willing to look the other way as Russia takes what it wants like I dunno munitions factories and supplies.
